Description of chlorogenic acid:
a) Has a wide range of biological effects, from insect resistance to human health
b) An important factor in plant metabolism
c) An antioxidant and has anti-fungi effectivity,stronger than the antibacterial
effectivity

the daily intake of coffee drinkers is 0.05-0.1g
e) Strong antioxidants in vitro and could therefore be contribute to the prevention of
disease caused by free radicals
Chlorogenic acid, an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, is a major phenolic compound in coffee, but is also found widespread in plants and can be isolated from the leaves and fruit . This compound, long known as an antioxidant, also slows the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal.
